Charges follow an SIU investigation into how a man suffered fractured ribs during his June arrest.

Three Toronto police officers are facing assault charges after the Special Investigations Unit completed its probe into the case of a man who suffered fractured ribs after his arrest in June.

Stalin Kiprotich, 26, had “an interaction” with police when he was arrested near Kipling and Finch Aves. on June 4, the SIU said.

Kiprotich was in custody overnight but was taken to hospital in the morning after he complained of chest pain, the SIU said. He was later diagnosed with fractured ribs.

SIU director Ian Scott “has reasonable grounds to believe that three officers with the Toronto Police Service committed a criminal offence in relation to injuries sustained by 26-year-old Stalin Kiprotich,” the SIU said in a statement Friday.
